Ingredients

Dipping Sauce:

1/3 cup nonfat Greek yogurt or 1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lime juice (about 1/2 lime)
1/2 teaspoon ancho chili powder
1 lime, zested

Shrimp:

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ancho chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
4 egg whites
3/4 cup cornmeal
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 pound medium rock shrimp (90 to 100 count), shelled and cleaned
2 tablespoons canola oil
Spray cooking oil

Dipping sauce:

Directions

If using regular yogurt, place it in a strainer lined with a paper towel. Place the strainer over a bowl and allow to drain and thicken for 20 minutes.

Combine the thickened or Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, ancho chili powder and lime zest in a small bowl and mix well to incorporate. Set aside.

Prepare the Shrimp:

Place flour, chili powder, garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a shallow bowl and stir with a fork to incorporate. Place egg whites in another shallow bowl and beat lightly. Place cornmeal, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper in a third bowl and stir with a fork to incorporate. Toss the shrimp, a few at a time, in flour until well coated. Shake off excess flour, then dip in egg whites. Transfer to cornmeal mixture and toss to cover all sides. Reserve coated shrimp on a baking sheet or piece of parchment paper and repeat with remaining shrimp.

Preheat broiler. Brush a large cookie sheet with the oil and heat the oiled sheet under broiler for 3 minutes. Remove from oven and quickly arrange shrimp in a single layer on the cookie sheet. Spray with cooking spray. Place shrimp under broiler and broil until crisp and browned, about 5 minutes.

Serve shrimp with dipping sauce.

Not good
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

this was not good. The breading was heavy, the shrimp lacked flavor and just didn't live up to expectations. This is... certainly a healthy alternative, but the sacrifice is flavor and taste. Read more

not my favorite
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

This recipe fell far short of my expectations. I am normally a big fan of the recipes Ellie has put together, however this... recipe lacked flavor and I did not like the texture of the breading. The dipping sauce was ok, but did not compensate for the terrible shrimpRead more

Delicious!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I loved, loved, loved the shrimp. I followed the recipe exactly, except I used bigger shrimp (41-50 count), and they were... still delicious. I could eat these everyday. Thanks EllieRead more

What a Treat!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is just so easy and delicious. The key is using very small shrimp and having a hot baking sheet. The dip is fantastic!... Can't go wrong with this dish for entertaining. Read more

Great with some slight changes
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this dish using larger shrimp and panko as suggested in some other reviews. My husband and I really liked it and will... make it again. I actually thought the prep was easy but next time I will make sure I am done breading before heating the cookie sheet up. We liked the sauce too but maybe a little less lime next time.Read more
